I have yet to hear anyone's explanation on why a new arena on Long Island would make that much more money than one in Calgary.

More than 20 million people live in the New York metropolitan area, enough to fill an arena with concerts and other major events every night the Islanders aren't playing. That's more than twice the number of major events the Saddledome hosts. So it would have more than twice the revenue from ticket sales, parking, and concessions. A facility that is in use almost all of the time makes much more money than one that is empty more than half of the time, in spite of similar costs.
